The Parlour, Ice cream parlour and confectionery store in Downtown Durham, United States.
The Parlour is an ice cream and confectionery shop that produces handmade ice cream in classic and seasonal flavors alongside housemade pastries and espresso drinks. Located on Market Street in downtown, it combines sweet treats with carefully crafted beverages.
The shop started as a mobile ice cream tricycle before expanding into a permanent storefront in downtown Durham. Growth led to the opening of a second location called The Parlour Junior.
The shop partners with nearby bakeries and markets that feature its products as desserts and take-away items. These connections make it a key part of the local food network.
Ice cream is available daily at the shop, and customers can order baked goods and cakes through the website for pickup. The downtown location is easy to reach on foot, and the store itself is small and straightforward to navigate.
The shop regularly features two to three dairy-free ice cream flavors inspired by seasonal ingredients and childhood recipe books. This selection shows how traditional sweets blend with modern dietary options.
